Thanks John.

I have been messing about with the fit on my left and I have found that if I bend the memory wire in such a way that it pushes the bottom part of the shell slightly the problem goes away temporarily. Man I really don't want to do with out these for any period of time, but I guess that's where it'll end up...

I will probably have to do a refit also... shame as I am enjoying them very much. the fit is quite good, but not perfect.

Praise is praise. They are my "go to" headphone right now, for both portability and home amp use (obviously much easier with a longer cable).

these things are crazy good with a good source IMO. never have I heard an IEM capable of scaling so well!! they sound superb out of iphone, but with the northstar dac and melos almost too good to be true. once I have the buffalo32 fully cased up and under full rotation I ca see these being pretty much the only HP I use. perhaps with the HD600 (balanced) used every now and then for music that requires a more airy presentation

 

[Kclone]

yeah they do indeed scale up well. Mine sounds GREAT with RWA Isabellina DAC and Ear HP-4 in front. Kind of the best of both worlds, so warm yet so detailed as well. I think I need a refit though. Anyone know how long the turnaround time is on a refit?

Then, it's Michael Jackson's Off The Wall. What a recording!

There's a lot of talk here of refits. For a refit, I assume you just go back to your audiologist, get another set of impressions, and send them down? If so, shouldn't the odds of getting a correct fit the second time be pretty much the same as the first time (if not, the audiologist should do 2 fits in 1 sitting, and just sent the second impressions)?

What am I missing here?

 

[mistertomlinson]

This too confuses me. I wonder what determines a bad fit. Poor impressions, poor shell making... I hope it would be the impressions, but getting another set made wont necessarily mean they'll be any better than the first.

I'll be getting my first pair of customs soon and I'm sending in two sets of impressions from two different audiologists, neither of which are 100%.

My audiologist said if they didn't fit right I could bring them in and she could help buff them or whatever needed to be done to get them to fit right

Have any of you tried that instead of sending them all the way back to JH?

 

[immtbiker]

No...no.

It usually means the IEM maker either adds or removes some material to the headphone to make a better fit or seal.

 

[blargman]

Nobody has had their audiologist do a refit?

1. I know some people do go back to their audiologist. That's what I don't understand.

2. But let's set them aside for a second. How would you describe to the maker what to add or take away in exactly what place?

I've been there -- had a rough time getting my UE11 to fit. In my experience, it's a real crapshoot. If you know exactly what needs to be done, it's possible you'd be happy with the results, but I tried several times (at different points in the process) to work with my audiologist to sand down/buff the earpieces, and it never worked for me. (And of course, they can only remove material.)

Why take any off anyway? I did an impression of my own with one of those earplugstore kits. It was missing a small part that may not even be that important, but i decided not to send it in. I've been "dry fitting" it if you will, simply sliding it in and out of my ear and it fits perfect, as you can imagine. Why not leave the IEM just like that. I don't find it uncomfortable and the impression blocks out a ton of noise.
